Al Qaeda-linked insurgents in Iraq released a videotape Thursday showing the execution-style deaths of 14 Iraqi soldiers and police officers after the expiration of a 72-hour deadline for the Iraqi government to meet the militants’ demands. The authenticity of the 11/2-minute video could not be verified, but it appeared on a Web site commonly used by Islamic militants and bore the logo of the Islamic State of Iraq’s media production wing, al-Furqan.
